Brain vs Heart


i heard one thing long time ago. it said,

if you wondering which one , your brain, or your heart,  you should follow during decision making, you better think about their statistics.

for myself, brain is definitely win. but wait.

without heart that give you the passion, give you faith when you are hopeless, helpless, it seems that the world is too computational.

the world is computational. everyone can only act within their imagination. some people more, some people less.

people like to follow habit, follow social rituals. just somebody follow more, somebody care less. we are all bounded by somethings. when someone has smaller common "social rituals", people may label it as crazy. because people cannot predict what they are going to do next.

think about the joker in batmen.


("you know one thing about chaos, it is fair" , truly bring up a whole new philosophy on social planning)

joker is crazy (and happy), because he does not following order, social ritual. he against it, he embrace chaos. however, even as crazy as joker, he still bounded by himself. imagine a society, that chaos is common, just like the war times, joker is not crazy at all at that society.

may be i gone too far. Brain VS Heart. as if "to be or not to be". biggest problem of life. one solution is, "To Be AND Not To be", "brain and heart". How?

as one of the different between adult and kids is, adult will foresee the consequences, while kids do not. So, if we think back, oh yes, kids never understand what is "to be or not to be", they are always "to be". Thus, kid has no fear. in contrast, adult always consider the consequences, and the consequences we don't want may be "the result does not same as i imagined" or "that will make people unhappy".

the motivation is from our heart. it give us reason to do things, to do extra things then support our life. and the brain plan to do to achieve that goal. so, when talking this... my heart can never make mistake, coz setting goal cannot be wrong. but it is the problem of my brain that fail to achieve that goal. oh... interesting.

although the world is computational, our brain is not powerful enough to compute the world.

...skipping

at last, different people has different needs and requirements. so, "To be, or not to be" should be " To change yourself, or not to change yourself ".

i don't mind to change. am i? can i?
